Chapter 69: Strongest Challenger Accidentally Wanders into the Bronze Battlefield!

"Are you saying that there were quite a few Sealed Dharma Artifacts being transported this time as well?"

Su Ping skipped over the other party's self-reproach and asked directly about the issue that concerned him.

"Yes, several major cities around Golden Sword City did not hold the Dharma Assembly of the Small Golden Light Temple."

"But the noble people here also want to do their part for the great cause of exorcising evil, and they are also willing to contribute their strength."

"Therefore, after consulting the monks of the Small Golden Light Temple, we and other places all planned to send a portion of Sealed Dharma Artifacts over."

"It just so happened that our Ji Family had a caravan coming this way, so we transported them along the way, but who would have thought..."

Ji Kui hurriedly answered upon hearing this.

Hearing that there were Sealed Dharma Artifacts, and perhaps quite a few of them! Su Ping could not help but feel moved.

After hearing that it was convenient to exchange them at the Merit Stele, he had already been eyeing Sealed Dharma Artifacts, and had even considered how to obtain them through various channels.

He did not expect that an opportunity would arise now.

And it was a number of Sealed Dharma Artifacts that would be difficult for outsiders to estimate! In the recent contact, Su Ping had already discovered that he, with Mid-stage Qi Refining and Body Tempering Fifth Layer, also possessed one-tenth of the Saint Body blessing.

In this region with thin Spirit Qi, he was like a Challenger-tier player who had accidentally wandered into a Bronze-tier lobby, a super expert who had to stifle his laughter while smurfing! Even the Loose Cultivators in this area were worse than those in Jinque City.

As long as he did his investigation work well and was a bit cautious, he could completely sweep through the natives of this region with his own strength!

"Eliminating Evil Spirits is everyone's responsibility!"

"Although I am only an Inspector of Jinque City, I also have a heart that wants to contribute to the elimination of Evil Spirits!"

"You go back first and tell Ji Hu to bring people over."

"As for those Robber Cultivators and bandits who even dare to rob Sealed Dharma Artifacts... since I have encountered them, they must not be let off!"

In front of fellow practitioners, Su Ping could naturally be submissive.

In front of Loose Cultivator martial artists, Su Ping chose to strike with a heavy fist! …………

Luo Family Manor was the largest manor within a hundred miles; the granaries in the manor were piled full of grain, and there was even a large amount of aged wine cellared in the underground secret vault.

Because of this, it became the first target chosen by Loose Cultivators who had steeled their hearts to do something big after gathering the bandits from the surrounding mountains and forests! They even dragged the Ji Family caravan into the trap.

The leading Loose Cultivator this time was named Niu Wu, who originally lived as a landlord in Jin Feng City.

He was getting by averagely but comfortably.

As a result, first there was talk of an Ancient Relic appearing, which brought a large crowd of Cultivators, scaring Niu Wu so much that he shivered and hid in the countryside.

Then that region suffered both earthquakes and torrential rains.

Later, a group of Demon Beasts also emerged and ravaged the countryside.

Niu Wu's family fortune of half a lifetime was gone overnight in this catastrophe!

Fortunately, he was a landlord who had climbed up from the bottom, so he knew how to earn back what was lost.

Realizing that he could no longer survive in his hometown, Niu Wu took a few Loose Cultivators with similar experiences and ideas and moved far away from Jin Feng City.

After arriving in this coastal area, Niu Wu suddenly discovered that there were very few traces of Outer Sect Cultivators here, and many cities even had vacancies for Inspectors for many years.

In this region, he, Niu Wu, could achieve great things! The experienced Niu Wu soon grew stronger and stronger in this area, and finally gathered over a hundred martial artists and more than ten Loose Cultivators to form an Elite team.

And his courage grew larger and larger; after basically incorporating the surrounding bandits, he set his sights on the local wealthy clans.

Niu Wu planned to pull off one big heist and then move to another major city's territory to continue incorporating others, striving to grow big and strong during the time the Immortal Sect was too busy to notice.

Then, before the Immortal Sect could come to their senses, he would quickly find a powerful backer, offer up most of his fortune, and continue being his landlord.

Niu Wu was clear-headed and appeared exceptionally generous to his subordinates.

Food and wine were available at will, and all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry were distributed according to merit.

However, at this very moment, looking at the thunderstorm that would not stop outside the house.

A trace of gloom flashed in Niu Wu's eyes.

He advocated for leaving immediately after the robbery, but with such heavy rain, plus the fact that the people in the manor were either dead or controlled, the only one who slipped through the net was an ordinary Loose Cultivator.

In the worst-case scenario, if they ran away, it would take until tomorrow at the earliest to mobilize troops from the city.

By that time, they would have long since vanished! He found it hard to stop his brothers' demands to eat, drink, and have fun on the spot while waiting for the rain to stop.

"Old Seven has been gone for nearly half an hour, why hasn't anyone come back yet?"

"Didn't I instruct them that even if they couldn't catch them in a short time, they should remember to send someone back to report on time?"

"Have these people forgotten the rules again, or did something unexpected happen?"

Thinking of this, Niu Wu was startled, but then shook his head, feeling it was unlikely.

When he arrived, he discovered that in this coastal area, only large cities might have traces of Cultivators.

In other places, one might not even be able to find a Loose Cultivator.

He wasn't causing trouble in a big city, and he didn't even dare to go near the official roads. Even if those Cultivator masters happened to be in the city, there was no reason for them to tire themselves out patrolling everywhere just to deal with the likes of them? "Still, something feels wrong. Forget it, I'll wait another half an hour. If there's still no news, I'll take my old brothers and leave first!"

Niu Wu thought cautiously, when he suddenly saw a mouse poke its head out in the courtyard.

"A mortal mouse with spirituality!"

Niu Wu was pleasantly surprised to see this big mouse.

This kind of big mouse that Su Ping used to scout for information had no Spirit Qi fluctuations, so in the eyes of Niu Wu and the others, it could not be a Spirit Beast contracted by a proper Cultivator.

This must be a gift from heaven; catching it would at least allow them to trade for some cultivation resources!

Those Cultivator masters who were at Mid-stage Qi Refining might look down on this bit of resources, but they, as Loose Cultivators, had to fight tooth and nail for it.

Niu Wu grinned and rushed toward the big mouse.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! The big mouse was startled and retreated into the dirt hole.

"You can't escape!"

Niu Wu's hands swelled up a size, and just as he was about to pounce on the mouse hole, he arrived late but first! Bang! The manor gate was suddenly smashed away, and after spinning in mid-air several times, it slammed into the ground and shattered into pieces.

This loud noise, let alone Niu Wu who was in the front courtyard, also startled all the bandits in the manor who were eating meat and drinking to celebrate, and they rushed out in a panic.

Then, these people saw a Cultivator wearing a silver-white mask, a Daoist crown on his head, and a cyan Daoist robe, walking in slowly with his bare hands.

Su Ping stepped into the manor and swept his gaze around, a smile appearing on his face.

Before entering the manor, he had already dispatched a group of rats to scout for intelligence.

He confirmed that this group of bandits was all eating, drinking, and making merry inside the manor, and even the lookouts were huddled in the corners of the walls, avoiding the rain and drinking.

Furthermore, the strongest among them was only a leader at the Qi Refining Second Layer, while the other Loose Cultivators were only at the Qi Refining First Layer.

Only then did Su Ping choose to walk openly into this kindergarten-level battlefield.

Under the torrential rain, a bolt of lightning split the sky; the thunderous light illuminated the earth and also allowed the bandits to see the Cultivator attire before them clearly.

"It's an Outer Sect Disciple from an Immortal Sect!"

"How could an Outer Sect Disciple come to such a rural place!"

The Loose Cultivators who came out of the manor sobered up immediately after seeing clearly.

Upon hearing the loud noise, Niu Wu quietly retreated, and at this moment, he was hiding behind the crowd.

He let out a roar: "Don't be afraid, he's just one Outer Sect Disciple!"

"Attack together, don't give him a chance to recover his Qi; even a Mid-stage Qi Refining Cultivator like him will run out of Dharma Power in this territory!"

After Niu Wu finished roaring, he didn't care whether his brothers believed him or not, and his figure began to retreat rapidly, preparing to leave from the back courtyard of the manor.

Up ahead, most of the bandits were indeed encouraged; taking advantage of their drunken state, they howled and charged toward Su Ping.

These people had stayed in this territory for too long and had long since forgotten the terror of a true Cultivator.

Coupled with the courage gained from being in a crowd, they actually dared to launch a counterattack! Su Ping didn't even bother to use firearms, wanting instead to test his own skills as a Body Cultivator; he gently flexed his fingers.

Bang, bang, bang! In the next instant, Su Ping charged into the flock of sheep like a fierce tiger.

The moment one person collided with a hundred, nearly half of the members among those hundred were sent flying into mid-air with faces twisted in pain.

No secret techniques, no fighting styles.

Just pure strength, pure speed.

When the second clap of thunder split the sky.

Under the lightning, there was not a single bandit left in the courtyard who could still stand up.

The last resisting Loose Cultivator was also kicked flying past Niu Wu's ear, his body embedding into the back courtyard wall...

At that moment, Niu Wu also stopped his retreat, sat down on his backside in the mud flowing with Rain Technique, and stared blankly at Su Ping walking toward him.

Powerful, too powerful! Shouldn't such a Body Cultivator monster be off trading blows with large Demon Beasts or fighting powerful evil cultivators? What virtue or ability does he, Niu Wu, have? What virtue or ability! Why would such a monster need to come and hunt him down? Having seen such a terrifying combat-ready Body Cultivator strike, Niu Wu's will to even run away was extinguished.

He could only pull a bitter face, and before the other party could strike, he performed a Fierce Tiger Landing Style and knelt on the ground, saying:

"Spare me, Daoist Master!"

"Old Niu here once worked as a guard and did odd jobs for the Inspector of Jin Feng City; this time, I was truly blinded by greed..."

"I beg the Daoist Master to show mercy!"
